The field will be divided into threesomes, with each group being mentored by a former Kraft champion. The legends include Amy Alcott, Dottie Pepper, Pat Bradley, Betsy King and Kathy Whitworth.

The youngest player in the field is Whiston, 13, who has victories on the FCG National Tour and the San Diego Junior Golf Association Tour Championship. Moore, 14, recently shot a course-record 62 at Twin Oaks.

The official Kraft tournament runs Thursday through Sunday on the Dinah Shore Course.

USC dominates at Farms

Sophia Popov shot the tournament’s only score in the 60s, a 3-under-par 69, to take the individual lead, and she powered USC into first place after two rounds of the SDSU Farms Invitational at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe.

A two-time All-American from Germany, Popov made four birdies on the difficult Farms course for her 69, which followed her opening 74 on Sunday. Her 1-under total gave her a two-shot lead over Northwestern’s Kaitlin Park (73-72).

The top-ranked Trojans were on top of the board with an 11-over total. That was 13 strokes better than second-place UNLV.

The host Aztecs were 10th at 51-over. Christine Wong (7-over) was SDSU’s top player, tied 18th.

TP wins inaugural Invitational

San Diego Country Club hosted its inaugural High School Invitational tournament last week, with Torrey Pines edging Coronado by two shots. Eight teams played for a perpetual trophy donated by Coronado.

The individual winner was Kevin Cline of Steele Canyon, who shot even-par 72 from the blue tees.
